Residents get a look at proposed redevelopment plans for Oakridge Centre

Residents had a chance to look at plans for a proposed re-development of Oakridge Centre at an open house today.

The development proposes 2,800 residential units in buildings as high as 45 storeys.

Resident Randall MacKinnon says this will be a drastic change for a neighbourhood dominated by single-storey family homes.

“when they’re on little, mini blocks of wood they look pretty small, but they’re going to be pretty big.”

MacKinnon says he isn’t necessarily opposed to the height of the buildings, but wonders if the transit infrastructure is in place to deal with increased population density the development would bring.
